Cantaloupe Honeydew And Almond Bombe Recipes

Steps:

• With a melon baller, scoop out melon (to yield about 8 cups). Spoon melon into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cold water; stir to combine. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup water and sugar over medium, stirring, until sugar has dissolved.
• Remove pan from heat; stir in honey and softened gelatin until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/4 cups cold water. Pour mixture over melon in pan; place plastic wrap directly on surface and top with another loaf pan (to keep melon submerged).
• Refrigerate until gelatin is set, about 3 hours. To unmold, run a knife around edges; dip pan in hot water for 5 seconds, and invert onto a platter. Cut into slices, and serve.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the honeydew, sugar, almond extract, and almond milk and blend until very smooth. Chill until cold.
• Use a melon baller to scoop out balls of cantaloupe, or simply cut into small bite-size cubes. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
• To serve, pour ½ cup (4 fl oz. or 120 ml) of the honeydew almond soup into a shallow bowl and top with pieces of cantaloupe.
